I just watched the two Grindhouse movies.
Planet Terror actually met the German standard of Grind (meaning disgusting stuff). Man, that was a gore fest. Some scenes were pretty cool, I liked the helicopter-slicing-zombies-thing and when Josh Brolin gets the pus in his face (twice) I really had to wretch. Insofar, it was really good. But I think what will stay with me the longest is the question: How does Cherry’s (Rose McGowan) machine gun leg know when to shoot? She never pulls a trigger on this thing. Is it a telepathic gun?
Death Proof was fun. I really liked it, it had the usual Tarantino-dialogues which may be nothing new, but they are always good. I also liked that it had two parts, it felt like it was a “what if” situation, especially because in the beginning, some of the dialogue is the same and the way the girls sit in the car etc.
Summarising: Death Proof worth watching though not the best Tarantino (I still think that’s Reservoir Dogs). Planet Terror only if you are a huge fan of gore and fighting midgets (Freddy Rodriguez. Don’t take this personally but 1,68m is not tall…).
